Free Crochet Pattern | Double-Sided Pineapple Dish/Face/Body Scrubby

A few weeks ago I received a mystery box of yarn in the mail from Red Heart Yarns. When I opened the box I found 1 ball of Scrubby in Citrus and 1 ball of Scrubby Sparkle in Lemon. At first, I had absolutely NO idea what I was going to make with these! Of course, a scrubby of some sort is what they’re intended for, but I had admittedly never worked with scrubby yarn before.

On the way home from the post office, it hit me! I had had pineapples on the brain since the Crochet Guild of America’s 2016 conference was coming up in just a couple short weeks, and the idea came to me to make a pineapple scrubby! BUT…how could I make it look like a pineapple and not a blob? Ooooohhhh, another lightbulb moment! “I have lots of Creme de la Creme in my yarn stash. I’ll make a double-sided scrubby using that for one side and the scrubby yarn on the opposite side!” 😀

I got home with my box, grabbed a hook & yarn, and within 20 minutes I had finished! Now, things don’t often come that easily from conception to completion….this was just one of those lucky moments. lol And, I just happened to have a pineapple on the kitchen counter who accepted my invitation to be a photo prop….it was fate! 😉

Above you’ll see the softer, Creme de la Creme side in the photo on the left and the Scrubby side in the photo on the right.

I was originally going to name this a “dish scrubby”, but I have been using it on my face and body in the shower! I had heard people talk about using them for their body and when I heard this, my skin immediately began to scream, “Ooouuuccchhh!” However, after playing around with it, I’ve discovered that it IS actually soft enough for your skin too. So this double sided scrubby has multiple uses and will be perfect to give as gifts!
